🚀 Project Structure
Inside of your Astro project, you'll see the following folders and files:
/
├── public/
│ └── favicon.ico
├── src/
│ ├── components/
│ │ └── Image.svelte
│ │ └── Carousel.svelte
│ ├── layouts/
│ │ └── Layout.astro
│ └── pages/
│ └── index.astro
└── package.json
Astro looks for .astro or .md files in the src/pages/ directory. Each page is exposed as a route based on its file name.
There's nothing special about src/components/, but that's where we like to put any Astro/React/Vue/Svelte/Preact components or layouts.
Any static assets, like images, can be placed in the public/ directory.
